Sports Anchor Punches Video-Bomber; Police Chief Calls It ‘Hilarious’ (Video)

You should never, ever try to video-bomb one of Mike Zambelli’s live shots, as some random dummy recently learned the hard way.

Zambelli, a sports anchor for Service Electric 2 Sports in Pennsylvania was doing a live hit at the Musikfest concert in Bethlehem, Pa. That’s when some guy in a cowboy hat and Batman shirt crept up from behind. The presumably drunk fellow tried to get in on the shot by getting a little too close to Zambelli.

So, Zambelli did what any reasonable person has wanted to do to a video-bomber — he punched him (sort of).

“He startled me, so I reacted,” Zambelli told The Morning Call, according to PhillyMag.com. “He ran off … It’s not a big deal.”

Zambelli won’t be getting in trouble for his action, either. According to PhillyMag.com, Bethlehem police chief Mark Diluzio found the entire thing “hilarious.”
